Niall Horan Imagines

Taking Chances

Stupid. That's what enters your mind once you stepped outside the penthouse suite of the after party. You're in Los Angeles, a place unknown to you and so you have no idea where you are and where you're supposed to go.

"Damn it," you cursed under your breath as you wait impatiently for the elevator car to go up.

"(Your Name)!"

You look up and saw Niall running after you. His eyes searched your face for some clue and when he finally reached you, he held you close as if you're the only thing that mattered in the world right now.

"Tell me what's wrong," Niall pleaded softly.

You took a deep breath and looked him in the eyes. "You. Me. Both of us. I think that's what's wrong," you said, quietly.

Niall looked as if his heart broke and that instantly made you regret what you just said.

"What do you mean?" Niall asked.

"Take a look around Niall," you say carefully. "Almost everyone is against you and me and I'm sick and tired of trying to be brave against all of them."

Niall took your hands and held them tight while looking down into your eyes.

"I don't care. I just know that what we have between us is too good to just let it go," he said, sincerely. "I love you so much (Your Name) and I can't let you go."

Your heart fluttered. Okay, maybe that's an understatememt. Your heart is banging against your ribcage and it feels like it just wants to go and join Niall's heart in his chest. The havoc in your chest is so loud that you're afraid Niall is hearing it.

"I really, really love you (Your Name) and I don't care if not everyone wants to hear that. I don't care if they hate that. I don't care if--"

You couldn't help yourself. Every single word that came out of Niall's lips are just too much for your heart to handle. Instinctively, you tugged Niall closed to you and slammed your lips to his. He was taken by surprise but it only took him a moment to catch on.

His lips on yours felt perfect--like nothing in the world matter but you and Niall. His kiss is passionate and delicate as if he's afraid that if he kissed you too much, you'd break away. His hands found their way to your head, cradling your face. You wrapped your arms around his waist as you stepped in closer to him, closing whatever gap is left between you and Niall.

His kiss deepened and finally you found yourself breathless in his kiss. You reluctantly broke away and took a gasp of air, welcoming the warm air of Los Angeles into your lungs.

You looked up into Niall's eyes and felt protected, warm, and loved. The emotions swirling in Niall's eyes are just so sincere and pure that the voice that once drove you to think it's not right to be with Niall whimpered in your head.

"I really love you too," you whispered.

Niall grinned and then the elevator doors swung open. You looked at the empty elevator car and then at Niall. His smile faltered a little bit and stared at you with a hint of sadness in his eyes. He tucked a little stray of hair behind your ear and continued to look at you.

"Say something," you said, looking away from his stare.

"Please think about us," Niall said. "You and I both know that what we have is worth fighting for. Just think about it."

You nodded and sighed.

"I will," you said, taking a step into the elevator. Niall followed suit and pushed the button for the basement before wrapping you in his arms.
